Interesting article. As an electrical engineer, I take exception to some of the things they said. But there is no doubt that Hensley builds decent stuff.
They did point out that disc brakes are better at high speeds, and drum brakes are better at low speeds, which is something I hadn't really considered. I haven't found a reliable source for this conclusion, either, but it does seem to match the observed low-speed grabbiness. Dexter Axle (maker of the TM axle assemblies) does make disc brakes for trailers. I wonder if they behave differently?
